Crime Stoppers and Harris County sheriff's investigators are searching for two women wanted for questioning in the robbery of an electronics store this summer.

Deputies received a robbery call on June 8 at the business in the 20200 block of the Katy Freeway after a store employee saw two suspects acting suspiciously about 3:45 pm.

Store employees monitored the suspects as they concealed merchandise in their bags, and they left the store without paying, according to a press release from Crime Stoppers of Houston.

One of the suspects was approached in the parking lot of the store and threatened a witness with a large pair of scissors. The two women fled the scene in a four-door Oldsmobile Alero, with the license plate number DD4P292.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for any information called in to the 713-222-TIPS (8477) or submitted online at www.crime-stoppers.org that leads to the filing of felony charges or arrest of the suspects in this case.
